La relación resultante es mejor de lo que cualquiera de ellos podría haber esperado; hasta que un hombre lobo renegado ataca a Brian mientras pasea a sus perros.

Luna ascendente (Trilogía Luna #Volumen 3)
by Ian McDonaldLuna ascendente, la esperada continuación de Luna, por uno de los mejores autores de ciencia ficción del mundo. Un centenar de años en el futuro se libra una guerra entre los Cinco Dragones, las cinco familias que controlan las principales empresas industriales de la Luna.

Hamilton, Shortlist Magazine «McDonald crea una compleja y fascinante civilización con una tecnología creíble, personajes complejos y argumentos e historias que se sostienen.»Publishers Weekly «Mucha intriga, violencia, sexo... Una suerte de Dallas en la Luna.»The Guardian
Luna creciente - Los Bombarderos de Bali
by Kerry B. CollisonEn un momento en el que los australianos se muestran indecisos a la hora de apoyar la propuesta de invasión de Irak liderada por Estados Unidos, más de seiscientos marines estadounidenses que se encuentran rotando en Bali desaparecen repentinamente; entonces, Kuta estalla en una bola de fuego y Australia se alinea con la demanda de Estados Unidos de formar parte de la "Coalición de los dispuestos". Basado en hechos indiscutibles, un relato paso a paso de los atentados de Bali, el aumento de la militancia islámica extremista en toda Asia y lo que podría deparar el futuro cuando el terror se desate a las puertas de Australia. Crescent Moon Rising relata el auge del islamismo militante en toda Asia y cómo Estados Unidos y otras agencias de inteligencia extranjeras perdieron la oportunidad de detener no sólo a los instigadores de los atentados del 11 de septiembre en Estados Unidos, sino también a los que crearon la Jemaah Islamiyah y llevaron a cabo los atentados de Bali. El complot Bojinka se descubre en Manila, pero Estados Unidos ridiculiza el contenido encontrado en un ordenador portátil Toshiba blanco descubierto tras el incendio de un apartamento. Los archivos informáticos describen un plan de asesinato contra el Papa, que visitaría esa semana, y el plan detallado para secuestrar 11 aviones y estrellarlos contra las Torres Gemelas y otros objetivos estadounidenses. El momento de este suceso fue enero de 1995.

Lunar Descent
by Allen SteeleThe moondogs are responsible for maintaining Skycorp's most important off-world projects-and now they're going on strike.
Lunar Descent (Legend Bks.)
by Allen SteeleThe former head of a lunar mining operation returns to the moon and is immediately sucked into a dangerous morass of labor troubles, lies, larceny, and corporate wrongdoing in this wildly entertaining science fiction thrill ride There is big trouble on the moon. The blue-collar working stiffs of Descartes Station, who mine the surface for minerals and the North Pole for water, have become increasingly dissatisfied with Skycorp’s general disregard for its employees’ well-being. Following the most recent spate of layoffs, the labor strike grumblings have only grown louder, so the company is sending former base administrator and recovering alcoholic Lester Riddell back into the fold in an attempt to boost morale and output alike. The truth, however, becomes shockingly apparent to Riddell almost immediately upon his return. Not only has he been unceremoniously dumped into a muddled mess of larceny, piracy, and corporate malfeasance, it appears that Skycorp is purposely setting him up to fail—which could spell finis for Descartes Station and every trash-talking, pot-smoking, porn-loving Vacuum Sucker and Moondog who toils there. But as the Skycorp suits are about to discover, they’ve just made the biggest mistake of their corporate lives—because Lester Riddell is nobody’s fall guy. Three-time Hugo Award winner Allen Steele has seen the near future, and it isn’t pretty—it’s noisy, dirty, dangerous, and chaotic. Thrilling, wildly inventive, delightfully profane, and totally outrageous, Lunar Descent is one hell of rocket ride, with a master of science fiction at the helm.

Lunar Park (Vintage Contemporaries Ser.)
by Bret Easton EllisUna novela vertiginosa e hipnotizante en la que el enfant terrible de la literatura norteamericana arremete contra su propia biografia. Imagine que se convierte en un autor de gran éxito cuando todavía es universitario. Fama y millones de dólares difuminan la muerte inmediata de su insufrible padre. Fiestas glamurosas en Manhattan, sexo y drogas le sumergen en la vorágine de la autodestrucción. Imagine que poco después tiene una segunda oportunidad, como le sucede a Bret Easton Ellis en Lunar Park: una nueva vida junto a su esposa y sus hijos en un idílico barrio residencial. Sin embargo, todo esto puede cambiar... En una fatídica fiesta de Halloween, Bret Easton Ellis cree ver a uno de sus personajes de ficción más temibles conduciendo un coche como el de su padre, mientras, en la habitación de su hijastra, una muñeca ha cobrado vida. Extrañamente, la casa desprende una atmósfera fantasmal y en el exterior las cosas no parecen ir mejor: se suceden una serie de asesinatos y desapariciones de niños de la misma edad que su hijo. Lunar Park es una obra excepcional en la que se confunden realidad y ficción, y en ella el enfant terrible de la literatura americana arremete contra su propia biografía. Reseñas:«He aquí un libro que avanza desde la oscuridad y la banalidad hacia la luz y la epifanía con una fuerza y seguridad sorprendentes.»Stephen King «Un libro inquietante y real [...] El primer capítulo es la prueba de que no tiene desperdicio, que es droga dura y que, contra el olvido que le auguraran los detractores del escritor, Easton sigue en forma.»Nuria Labari, El Mundo «Adictiva, sublime, exquisita, brillantemente ejecutada [...] Una fantasmagórica fusión de amor y pérdida, de alucinaciones y sabiduría.»The New York Times «En Lunar Park, Ellis supera la frontera de la metaficción introduciéndonos en un modelo narrativo que bien pudiéramos denominar como "psycho-ficción". Las evocaciones que sugiere son tan numerosas como heterogéneas.»José Antonio Gurpegui, El Cultural «Lunar Park es una novela tremendamente entretenida, propulsada por un humor festivo completamente ausente en la escritura de la generación de escritores americanos que sucedió a Ellis.»Matt Thorne, The Independent «Una lectura hipnotizante [...] Verdaderamente aterradora [...] Lunar Park es una historia acerca de ese dolor transcendental que los padres infligen a sus hijos [...] El peor tipo de violencia es aquella que es interna y emocional, y en las bellas páginas finales de esta rica y compleja novela se demuestra que también es el tipo más dañino.»The Miami Herald
